Sarah’s Unexpected Return
Just as we sat down to dinner, a knock rattled the door. Opening it, I was stunned to see Sarah, standing there with teary eyes. ‘Can I come in?
‘ she asked, her voice shaky. The sight of her, visibly upset, sent a wave of relief mixed with alarm through me.
Mike joined me at the door, and we exchanged a hopeful look. ‘Of course, sweetie,’ I said, stepping aside to let her in.
